I PLEDGE MY HEAD TO CLEARER THINKING

MY HEART TO GREATER LOYALITY

MY HANDS TO LARGER SERVICE

AND MY HEALTH TO BETTER LIVING

FOR MY CLUB, MY COMMUNITY, MY COUNTRY AND MY WORLD

HEAD

THINKING: 4-H gets adults and kids to think. They learn how to think as team members and leaders. They find new ways of doing things and different ways of looking at issues facing kids today. 4-H kids learn to think about the world around them, and how they fit into it today and how they can fit into the future.

HEART

FEELING: It can be tough being a kid today. To help sort out their thoughts, ideas and emotions, 4-H members talk with their leaders and with each other about the things important to them. They listen to ideas, look at different ways to handle problems and often find that others share the same feelings.

HANDS

DOING: 4-Hers do things that are fun and learn skills that they can use for the rest of their lives--on the job, at home, or with friends. 4-H teen and adult leaders work to improve their communities, share their skills and ideas with others, and get their hands on the future by learning new skills and taking time to explore careers that interest them.

HEALTH

LIVING: Being healthy means feeling good, doing your best to balance school, friends and family, and making the best choices for you. 4-H helps kids learn to make choices about exercise, eating and other parts of their lives that they can feel good about as adults.

Take a close look at 4-H now and you will see a lot more than kids talking about the future... They are becoming the

future!
